Texas' Davis wins 10th Annual Broyles Award

January 17, 2006; Little Rock, Ark. - Officials from The Little Rock Downtown Rotary Club presented University of Texas offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Greg Davis with the 10th Annual Frank Broyles Award during a luncheon at the Doubletree Hotel in Little Rock. The award is given annually to the nation's top NCAA Division I assistant football coach. Davis was also a Broyles Award finalist in 1999.

Davis has been no stranger to success during his 33 years of coaching, but during the 2005 season, his offense became the definition of success. In beating two-time defending national champion Southern California 41-38 for the national title in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4, the Longhorns became the highest scoring team in NCAA history with 652 points and gave UT its fourth national championship and first since 1970 with a school record 13 victories and no losses.

Davis has produced the top six scoring seasons in school history, six of the top seven passing seasons in Texas history and five of the top seven seasons in total yardage.

The 2005 Longhorns became just the fifth team in NCAA history to average more than 50 points a game.

The Longhorns scored 40 or more points in 12 of 13 games; no other team broke the 40-point mark more than nine times.

Texas scored more than 50 points seven times, more than 60 points four times and broke the 70-point mark against Colorado in the Big 12 Championship Game.

The Longhorns led the nation in passing efficiency (160.96) and ranked third in total offense (512.08 yards per game).

Their rushing offense ranked second nationally (274.92 yards per game) and first in the Big 12.

Their passing offense ranked 40th nationally and third in the Big 12, improving from 165.2 yards per game in 2004 to 237.2 yards per game in 2005.

The Longhorns broke the school record of 41.4 points per game set in 1969 and the record for total offense of 472.1 set in 1969.

For his selection, Davis was awarded $2,500 and a 100-pound cast bronze statue worth $5,000. All finalists received $1,000 and a set of TaylorMade golf clubs and a golf bag, as well as gifts for their spouses and premium lodging and transportation.

About the Broyles Award
In the prestigious history of college football, there are few coaches whose efforts have forever impacted the game. Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy and Eddie Robinson have set the standard for victories and championships on the gridiron. However, when it comes to selecting, developing and producing great assistant coaches, the legacy of Frank Broyles stands alone. Former Broyles assistant coaches who have become head coaches have gone on to coach in 20 percent of all Super Bowls and win almost 15 percent of all Super Bowl titles plus four national collegiate championships, more than 40 conference titles and more than 2,000 games. More than 25 Broyles assistants went on to become head coaches at the college or professional level, including Joe Gibbs, Hayden Fry, Raymond Berry, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Majors, Jackie Sherrill and Barry Switzer (full list below).

The Selection Process
Each NCAA Division I head coach may nominate one of his assistants for the Broyles Award. Every assistant that is nominated but not selected as a finalist, receives a personalized wall plaque recognizing his efforts. The finalists are chosen by an eight-man panel that may be the most prestigious of any awards panel, representing four National Championships, more than 1,300 victories, 59 conference titles, 112 bowl game appearances and nine National Head Coach of the Year honors.

The panelists are:

Arkansas Athletic Director and former Coach Frank Broyles

Former Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler

Former Georgia Coach Vince Dooley

Former Washington Coach Don James

Former Syracuse Coach Dick MacPherson

Former Baylor Coach Grant Teaff

Former Brigham Young Coach LaVell Edwards

Former Iowa Coach Hayden Fry
